"Puberty's a lotta things!" chirps track coach Gene Douglas in this sex education short whose juvenile actors were cast from the Boys Clubs of San Francisco. Handily armed with illustrative charts, he answers his curious charges' questions on everything from shaving to nocturnal emissions to how babies are made. Refreshingly, he opines that "for kids your age" masturbation is "something normal" and discounts all old wives' tales about its harmful effects. All this heady info leaves our boys ready to enter the wild world of dating (as closing glimpses of the opposite sex suggest). - Dennis Harvey
